About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Imagine a vast, natural, outdoor environment where memories are made to last a lifetime, adventure is around every corner and you have the opportunity to deliver life changing experiences - welcome to life at Fairthorne Manor! Every year thousands of visitors are welcomed to the YMCA Fairthorne Manor's 94 acre site on the south coast of England. The YMCA site includes sweeping grounds, mature woodland, a lake, access to the River Hamble and a range of exciting outdoor activities. Fairthorne is a place of first - from toddlers walking, kids splashing in the mud, being away from home for the first time, trying new activities, or a great school trip to remember. Enabling young people to grow and thrive is only made possible with fantastic volunteers from around the world, we want you to add the 'sparkle' to everything the YMCA do. Volunteer with YMCA Fairthorne Manor to help support happy, healthy lives for all.

💼 What the programme involves

Throughout their time volunteering with our partner, volunteers will help to deliver the highest quality of care and curriculum in line with our partner's 'way' and regulated guidelines. Keeping our partner's core values at the heart of everything they do, Welcoming, Active, Listening, Inspiring, Caring and Exciting. Volunteers will inspire the youngest participants, through delivering a exciting, child led, play based curriculum utilising the outdoors where-ever possible! From taking children on walks to explore nature, to eating and teaching around a campfire, volunteers will be there to support young children as they challenge themselves and develop throughout their time at YMCA Fairthorne Manor Nursery.
